Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto raised concerns about layoffs in the General Services Administration (GSA) in Nevada, prompting an investigation into the situation. Despite attempts to reach out to GSA offices for information, no response was received. The GSA plays a vital role in the federal government as the purchasing department and landlord, overseeing federal courthouses in the state. Cortez Masto’s assertion that President Trump fired all GSA employees in Nevada caused alarm, leading to demands for answers. While there has been no official confirmation from the GSA or the Trump Administration about the layoffs, employees were informed of a 90-day paid leave period. Estimates suggest that around 175,000 federal workers have been affected by layoffs or resignations. The situation is still developing, with further investigation needed to determine the extent of the layoffs. Steve Sebelius, Senior Political Reporter, contributed to this report.
